yeah the SP gain was about 500 (didn't seem to be that noticible when i was casting HLs on myself with and without it). I lost out on some spirit and haste. I wasn't sure how the changes to crit would affect crit stat weights.
Our ranged were SP, Boomkin, and an ele shaman. None of them could use it, so I asked for it when I saw it was gonna be DEed.
